CHECKING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL
1. Stand the vehicle on a level surface.
TIP
• Place the vehicle on a maintenance stand.
• Make sure the vehicle is upright.
2. Check:
• Brake fluid level
Below the minimum level mark
→
Add the
specified brake fluid to the proper level.
WARNING
EWA13090
• Use only the designated brake fluid. Other
brake fluids may cause the rubber seals to
deteriorate, causing leakage and poor
brake performance.
• Refill with the same type of brake fluid that
is already in the system. Mixing brake fluids
may result in a harmful chemical reaction,
leading to poor brake performance.
• When refilling, be careful that water does
not enter the brake fluid reservoir. Water
will significantly lower the boiling point of
the brake fluid and could cause vapor lock.
